@johnshaft5613 I totally understand that. Especially since they sent it to me for free. However, they really are just that great. They're so much more user-friendly than all of the other ones I've worked with.
Nice tutorial..only thing I'd do different is when you run the power cable from the solar panel, id run the cable down past the camera then come up..making a U shape to allow rain to drip off so water doesnt channel down to the power connection. No connection is water-tight forever, and the U loop will help the seal from getting prematurely worn
Very informative videos on Eufy, I am in the market to get a Eufy camera and home base. Thanks for making a video that is easy to follow to set up camera and base.
I only wish Eufy sold the mounting bracket separately as then you could move the camera around much easier if you wanted to. I have fixed Amcrest cameras around the house with NVR for general recording, and a Eufy doorbell and S360, which is great for getting live alerts. I love the way the 360 tracks it’s motion. Also a corner bracket would be good live a V bracket.
@@papawsgaming8762 I like how the plastic one works, with its simple click in, no fuss, so kind of think it would be good if I could purchase another one separately, the camera is generally not moved, but would be nice to be able to do it from time to time, as I use fixed cameras for security and only really use this one for notifications. More I just think it’s odd you can purchase other items separately just not the mounting bracket it comes with.
@@darrenstettner5381 it depends on the carrier and how much data you want it to have. Many are right around $25/month for unlimited data (data only sim card)
@@GrantButler Oh wow! $25 a month seems like a lot. I was thinking it would be cheaper than app subscriptions. Thanks for the information and good luck with your channel.
@darrenstettner5381 it can be cheaper. It just depends on the carrier that you choose. You can find super cheap ones, you'll just be limited on Data Usage
Doesn't a router depend on dsl or cable wifi? @@GrantButler ps. I just got one of my cams connected! For 2 days I thought I was having wifi and sims card issues but the problem was simply the wrong lighting and the whole QR code showing on my phone! 😂 I just needed to go sit by the window and scroll up a little. 😆
Yes you can power it by USB-C however you risk water ingress because there's a rubber seal on the cable from the solar panel. Also, it doesn't have a magnetic Mount option however I'm sure you could fashion something. Just keep in mind that it is a little weighty
Can I contact you to get some advice on setting up UV cameras around my house I live in Florida. I can maybe talk to you on the phone and send you some pictures. Would you be willing to give me some good advice? My name is Scott.
@@GrantButler One more question. I live rural and have spotty wifi. Can I set this up to run off wifi and have the cellular plan as a back up or is one or the other? I ordered the camera and it is supposed to be delivered today.
If I have multiple Eufy 4g LTE cam 330's can they all work off of the same mobile plan? Or do I need a different mobile plan for each of them? If so, that would get pretty pricey.
@@GrantButler Would you recommend this (or multiple) for an apartment building? I manage a building and am trying to find a whole building solution. 4 cameras maybe, one in the front, one on each side and one in the back.
@JoeRussellProductions this would be a "good" option, but because it doesn't record 24/7 I would be concerned about what it doesn't pick up because these will only record if something happens within 25ft of the camera. For your situation, I'd recommend the "e330 professional" 4cam setup. If you don't have internet, you can tap into it. You can connect 1 Hotspot to the homebase for all 4 cameras. Most importantly, it records 24/7, but requires power. Here's my video on that one. ruclips.net/video/L4_nol8Xf4I/видео.htmlsi=7aInKBTtvPH5NIcL
Great video and really love what you showed with the app it would have been even better if you’d shown examples of playing back videos and more info about the storage. I had a different brand camera with a really poor quality app that would crash every time I tried to view recorded footage and then it wouldn’t show what videos you’d watched. You also couldn’t delete videos from the app. It was so limited it was useless now I’m concerned about buying another camera with app problems and major limitations. Have you been able to easily watch footage? Can you delete watched videos individually? Can you save videos? Is there a cloud service also available for storage or is it only the memory card? How long did it take to fill up memory card? Does it automatically delete videos after a certain time frame? Would love to know these things. 😊
Most of the video clips from the camera I pulled from the storage. I have had almost no issues with the Eufy App. I actually have about 8 cameras from Eufy. You can believe me when I say they're great! The internal memory card is about 8gb and records about a month's worth of video. However, that depends on the amount of activity that occurs in front of the camera. You have full control to download & delete stored videos in the app. Playback speed and quality will depend on your network connection. Yes, it will automatically delete the oldest videos and continue recording. Let me know if you have more questions.
Grant I am a roofer. I want to use this camera to monitor job sites. Can you configure the communications for additional phone users. I would like our customers to be able to view their roof being installed while they are at work.
Did you have any issues linking it to your account? Mine simply won’t link. I have tried connecting it to my WiFi, nothing.. I have tried connecting it via 4g lte, nothing.. any thoughts?
@@GrantButler yeah it is 2.4, I was actually able to connect other eufy cameras either no problem, other models tho. Not the 4g lte camera. That’s one only one that won’t connect
Hello Grant. I have 2 questions. How long is the charging cord from the satellite panel to the camera? Does the satellite panel needs to be in direct sunlight to charge the camera? Thank you. Have a Happy Easter. Like the videos ciao for now bro.
I believe it's 4 meters or 13 ft. But I'll double-check. And it still charges when the sky is overcast. The 2hr quote is for direct unobstructed sunlight. Thanks for always watching
What about all the permissions the app requires???? Is there any working around that? Why do they need my location? Why do they need permissions to store data from all and any devices? Why the F are they so nosey? I thought I was getting a cam where I did NOT have to agree to their spying.
they need access to storage to save videos from the camera to your phone, mine asked for location permission, but I declined it, and its working fine for me.
@@GrantButler what I meant was does this 4G camera is specific only for us carriers Verizon, T-Mobile or it will work on any other carrier around the world?

This comes off much more like an ad than a review. I have yet to find a Eufy review wherein the reviewer actually is unbiased.

Amazon reviews aren’t the best for this thing and to be for any of these generic brands. They don’t seem to last long.

@@papawsgaming8762 that's super smart! Thank you for sharing that!
@@GrantButler YW!
If I choose the 4g option, will that require a monthly subscription from a carrier?
@@summerwest6313 yes
With this camera do you have to use 4g option will it work without that . Like the s340
Top review, really, everything explained as it should ...
Thank you! That's exactly what I aim for
This camera is so good!
Crazy versatile!
Great video. Would you like me to get an antenna for the 4G cam since it has a plug for one? How do I get one? I'm in a remote area.
Yes. Can you get an antenna that works with this camera? How much will this cost? Thank you.
If you search cleanerwatt and this camera he recommends an antenna

Has a sim card so you need to pay a small price for it to work . Is that correct .

I think you might be a pretty unique use case wanting to move it around
@@GrantButler you may be correct, but these are mass produced anyway, so offering them as an extra would be a win win.
The box comes with a mounting strap as well. Can use it on gutter downspouts or posts if you want to move it around

Solar powered is sweet!
It really is. My solar cameras are probably my favorites!
Can it be powered via usb or adapter instead of solar panel? Can it be mounted to a magnetic mount?
Yes you can power it by USB-C however you risk water ingress because there's a rubber seal on the cable from the solar panel.
